PRESIDENTE HELICOPTERS IS IN COMMAND AND CONQUER!!!
The Caravan of Death (Spanish: Caravana de la Muerte) was a Chilean Army death squad that, following the Chilean coup of 1973, flew by helicopters from south to north of Chile between September 30 and October 22, 1973. During this foray, members of the squad ordered or personally carried out the execution of at least 75 individuals held in Army custody in certain garrisons.[1] According to the NGO Memoria y Justicia, the squad killed 26 in the South and 71 in the North, making a total of 97 victims.[2] Augusto Pinochet was indicted in December 2002 in this case, but he died four years later without having been judged. His trial, however, is ongoing since his and other military personnel and a former military chaplain have also been indicted in this case.

No, just trying to present it as neutral. But that is not my actual opinion on the matter. Also, Allende was a Marxist, not a mere socialist. Also, I look at what happens to communist countries or countries that call themselves communist or whatever and I can't ignore the sheer amount of mass murder, repression and economic destruction that takes place within them.

So I think to myself if places like North Korea, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Cuba had their own Pinochets, that they would be far better places.

You act like you know so much about libertarian philosophy or politics, but it doesn't seem like you actually do. That's the kindest way for me to put it. Libertarians prefer personal and economic liberty first over the structural style of government or how the leader gets power.

Many even correctly point out that the USA was set up as a limited republic where representatives would serve as a buffer against the excessses of majoritarianism. In other words, things like religious fanatics not massing up at a vote to turn people of rival religions into criminals. Or perhaps most people in that country hate gays, jews, gypsies, etc. and would like to persecute them. This is a fairly mainstream libertarian view on things from Jefferson to Ayn Rand and even many libertarians and republicans today.

Anarcho-capitalists like myself, on the other hand, have practically no concern for democracy, at least political democracy at all because we believe in no government at all, at least not the kind that is set up in a completely consensual manner, like an apartment rental agreement, or security contract. I suggest you read writings of Rothbard for more info or read 'Practical Anarchy' by Stefan Molyneux.

Finally, there is even a well known libertarian professor who makes the case that monarchy is better for personal liberty than democracy with his book "Democracy: The God that Failed".

Now, with that said, I am glad that Pinochet took out Allende and his forces. I have no sympathy for communism, because of it's very long track record of false promises, manipulation and propaganda which turn to tyranny. Chile is a better place now. Are you seriously suggesting that because Allende was democratically elected that it would be okay for Chile to have become just like Venezuela or Cuba currently is?

I actually visited Chile, as well as other Latin American countries. It was far more prosperous than the others I have visited, which include Mexico, Brazil and Costa Rica. Chile felt almost like being in the states, but everyone speaks Spanish.
